Trait inferences: Sources of validity at zero acquaintance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the correlation between self-ratings and ratings of personality traits and found that ratings by strangers or acquaintances correlate substantially with the targets' self-reports, and that personality ratings reflect actual attributes of the target persons rather than illusions that exist only in the eye of the beholder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carving personality description at its joints: Confirmation of three replicable personality prototypes for both children and adults

TL;DR: The authors tested the hypothesis that there are three major prototypic patterns of personality description (resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled) in a series of studies including adults' self-descriptions on the Big Five and parents' Big Five judgments of their childern, using both replicated cluster analyses and replicated Q-factor analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thin slices of behavior as cues of personality and intelligence.

TL;DR: Self-reports, peer reports, intelligence tests, and ratings of personality and intelligence from 15 videotaped episodes were collected for 600 participants and a particularly strong single predictor was how persons read short sentences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergence of stranger ratings of personality and intelligence with self-ratings, partner ratings, and measured intelligence.

TL;DR: The authors found that ratings of extraversion, conscientiousness, and intelligence by strangers having been exposed to a videotape of targets were significantly related to self-reports of these traits as well as to ratings by acquaintances.
